- Place the shrimp in a bowl then pour over the marinade. Mix to make sure the prawns are covered then allow to marinade for 10-20 minutes.
- Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, pushing the skewer first through the tail and then through the thicker part to ensure they are secure on the skewers. Brush each skewers with marinade.
